ABC comedy with Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan goes backstage at a troubled theatre company.
New six‑part comedy series Bad Company starring Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan will premiere in April on ABC.
Created and written by Edmonds, Bad Company brings together a dream comedy pairing in a story about two fierce rivals who test each other to the limits.
The ensemble cast includes Will Gibb, Cameron James, Angella Dravid, Kira Puru and Ben Pfeiffer.
At the centre of the chaos is Margie Argyle (Anne Edmonds), the Argyle Theatre’s wildly confident artistic director who is determined to stage her most experimental, critic‑wowing masterpiece yet. There’s just one small problem: Margie’s bold creative vision might also send the already‑fragile theatre hurtling towards financial ruin.
Standing between Margie and catastrophe is Julia McNamara (Kitty Flanagan), a corporate high‑flyer with a flawless track record and the steely resolve to match. Tasked with rescuing the crumbling Argyle Theatre, Julia is determined to whip the place into shape, even if that means going head‑to‑head with Margie’s chaotic genius at every turn.
As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, Bad Company promises a fresh, sharp and chaotic take on life behind the curtain.
